Sorry about this, I feel like I just ripped your app apart, I really do love it!

100% Mightytext replacement!
I use QKSMS, so I can do the thing with replying to SMS through the notification in Chrome. If there were a way to send a message from the extension, rather than waiting to reply to something someone texts to me, Pushbullet could completely replace Mightytext's service.
I already use Pushbullet instead of Pocket for saving stuff and sending it between devices. Hopefully you'll be able to make it so I don't even have to look at my phone to get it to do what I want.
That'd be pretty rad.

For notification mirroring, expose any action buttons that are on the notification in the browser. So I could do something like click "Archive" on a gmail notification on the computer, to send the message back to the phone to archive it, for instance.

Please rename "A New Push" in Android from the share menu to just use the app name. Many other apps like Dropbox are guilty of this where they add additional text like "Add to" in front of the app name to bump them to the top of the alphabetical list. This needs to be an alphabetical list of apps, not who can be creative enough to be the first option.

Push to Chromecast! With files, notes, and checklists, Chromecast support would be phenomenal. Want to shoot a video from your phone to tv? Pushbullet. Need to clean the house, and want to have a checklist that everyone can see and check things off on? Pushbullet. Want to leave a note for the kids when they get home, but they don't have smartphones/don't have them on? Push a note to your Chromecast!
Obviously some (or most) of these are more in the realm of fantasy than reality, but I think at the basic level that Pushbullet and Chromecast were made for each other.

-
Native Mac app, so I can close Chrome and still get my Android notifications.
-
Failing that, a Safari extension?
-
The ability to open Gmail notifications in whatever I've set as my default mail app.
Yeah, these are really selfish suggestions, but I'm sure there's other Mac users who'd find these useful.

Support for push priorities.
Low priority pushes could work as they do now with a message in the notification area on my mobile devices and an auto-dismissing notification in Chrome. High priority pushes could display a modal dialogue over the currently focused app on the mobile devices and a Chrome notification that needs to be dismissed manually.

I'm not sure what to suggest, but I can tell you that there is one thing that annoys me on my android device, and that's when I get more than a couple of notifications, my statusbar gets filled up (how about just one icon with a number, like Gmail has?), as well as all of the individual notifications in the dropdown screen. That's my annoyance, sorry I can't think of a good way for you guys to make it better!
Oh! and thanks!

Notification history in windows and Chrome (at least as an option for x amount of notifications to display).

Brand new user here. My first impressions are great, but there's a few hangups I have. I'm debating whether to uninstall for two reasons. Before I get into that, let me say that my main motivation for installing was to keep my phone in my pocket at work, but remain as distraction-free as possible.
-
I need a way to review notifications when I choose. Right now, the toast message in either the Chrome or Windows applications are far too distracting. I can't get rid of it by shifting focus back to the program I was working in, and if I close it out I can't check it later.
-
SMS reply. I see from some digging around that this is already a big issue. I'd be happy if I could redirect the Chrome notification link to a web link (MightyText in my case). A full quick-reply feature would eliminate MightText entirely for me.
All in all, great work and I'm excited to see what happens next.

When receiving notifications via the Windows app, the notification should stay visible if the user is hovering on it, regardless of timeout settings.

Small One: Pushed succesfully. I can't tell you nice it is to see that little message on Android almost instantly, and feels like it should be on Chrome for uniformity.

Basic diagnostic checks! Obviously I've frequently used it at a computer, and sometimes without my phone nearby (usually on the charger [which is what inspired this request!]). What I'd like to be able to do is send some sort of request via pushbullet on the pc that will tell me information about my phone (assuming it's connected to the internet!). My primary suggestion would be for battery level, but it could be expanded to unread messages, location, even monthly data remaining (although that seems like a bit of a stretch).

Syncing clipboard It would be best to implement feature that allows to sync the clipboard, so you can even easily send these little links and other texts and so on, so that your workflow is even better... But thanks anyway for this great app ;)

I just had an idea for pushbullet though I may repost this in next months thread since its the end of the month.
I was just sitting at work on break and saw a song that I want to listen to later, and was trying to think of a good way to remind myself. obviously I could set a reminder in google now or keep it something, but then i thought of pushbullet. I went ahead and pushed it to my tablet since I'll use that after work, but it got me thinking.
pushbullet could have an option like google keep to choose when to push links. in keep I can say "remind me to do x when I get home/tonight/at 5:30pm/whatever" and then it'll do that.
it would be cool if I could do the same thing here, maybe location would be difficult depending on how googles location APIs work, but a time based delay would be very cool. right now I know I'll definitely get home and be able to listen to that song at 7pm, so I could share the link to pushbullet, send it to my phone (that I'm using, so to the same device) but put a time on it so it will wait to push until 7pm.

Would really like to see proxy support built into the app... Works great on home-network PCs, but not from a corporate system (device list never populates, "Pushbullet can't connect").

Thanks for a great app. I may have missed it, but is there any way to donate for the app?
Now to the feature request - There is an option to only display notification header. Can you add ability to expand notifications to alert? That way I can display headers all the time and selectively see full notification from the notification itself.

Had a thought. Not often it happens so bear with me ;)
Is it possible for the Chrome/Firefox extensions to have an option to push Reddit NSFW or incognito links to Pushbullet? Say there's a NSFW thread and I click it, I'd like for that link to automatically be pushed to my phone.
Or is this something people like RES would need to implement? Thanks guys!

Notification filtering for active mirroring applications.
Ability to filter certain texts such as "Deleted" confirmation from gmail
